I'm back!!

Hi there, lovely people! How's live treating you lately? I've been away for a looong time (2 weeks!), sorry bout that, I've been missing the blogland and you're comments a lot! But I have an excuse.... The first week, I injured my hand and couldn't wite in the computer, so no blogging...or crocheting!!! Can you imagine my frustration? But at the end it wasn't that bad since I used my way to much spare time to try out some new things I don't normally do, and you know what? I enjoyed it! Here's what I made in that first week...

1. I made this super easy handmade soap recipe by Fanny Harms. I read many other tutorials on how to do soap with the cold process before starting beacuse you have to use caustic lye and I had to be sure I wasn't doing something stupid!

3. And finally I did something I never do....Bake! I made this easy and yummy Apple cake recipe by Jutta of the Orgnized living solutions Blog. This was truely a surprise, it was delicious! I don't normally bake since I don't even have a propper oven, but I made this in my little toaster oven (which is the best toaster oven you can get, I've even made lasagna in there!) And I realized I really enjoy baking (specially if the result is in fact eatable, which I don't always achieve)

Ok, this was the first week, the second week I was running like crazy finishing the organization of the Wonders Market of this month, which took place this weekend. It was a bit difficult cause there's a big teachers strike and they're camping in the whole center of the city so walking round there is a true mess. This made it hard for some people to come and see us this weekend, but still we had a good time, and our faithful custumers made it through the tents! :)
